anyone care to have an estimate on how much rwhp my car will be putting out with the upgrades mentioned below? i dont drive my car in the winter so it is currently sitting in a garage waiting to have turbo, injectors, chips, fpr etc fitted before i put it back on the road in april, the reason i ask is that i plan to sell my beloved porsche around september as i am getting married this year and i just ordered a conservatory for the back of my house so i need the cash, i will get it dynoed before i sell it but in scotland there are only about 3 or 4 places that do this and none anywhere near me so i was wondering if you guys can give me an estimate? i reckon about 300rwhp what do you reckon??

if it's tuned correctly.... we'll see

Stcok 944 with upgraded turbo should produce about 300 rwhp at 18 psi. Your only other upgrade that will affect power is the 3" exhaust (I assume no cat in the UK.) That should add a few ponies.

The big questions (besides tuning) are whether the shimmed factory wastegate will hold the boost and whether the LBE is a sufficient boost controller for 18 psi to high rpm (where the power is made.)

Yeah, get to a dyno that can datalog boost. A drop of 1-2 psi can't be seen even with aftermarket mechanical gauges. This will rob you of about 20-30hp in the upper RPMs. This is typically evidenced by a torque-drop as well.
